A perfectly valid and self-aware coping strategy, I think.

Take care, Christine. It will work out OK in the long run. But that run is going to be longer than it needed to be, and far longer than we would have wished.

Take care. You will be missed, and valued, and your return awaited.

I often think about ditching this place. I'll stick around just to be here when you feel it's time to come back, mi amiga.

¡Ánimo!
